Lab for radiation pattern measurement

[hfavey]

Hi all,

If you don't have in-house facility for radiation pattern measurement, where do you send your antennas to have one measured? I'm on the west coast. Any place to recommend??

Thanks in advance.

It appears that the in-house radiation pattern measurement could easily be established.

Try us at New Mexico State University - The Physical Science Lab Electromagnetics Group. Go to

and find the antennas and electromagnetics business area.

Although oriented more towards EMI, perhaps the

Where on the west coast? What frequency range, antenna type, size are you trying to measure? You can always check with a nearby university or goto ww.rfcafe.com select vendors and then antennas. Then call the antenna vendors to see which ones perform outside work.
